I may not have been clear in what I was trying to convey. The scaling I am talking about is set using Format->Character->Position->Rotation/Scaling->Scale Width . The value this field sets is called scaling factor.
What I want to know is how do we tell Windows that stretched glyphs have to be drawn? My understanding is that eventually a FontSelectPattern with width=0 is passed to ImplGetLogFontFromFontSelect of vcl/win/gdi/salfont.cxx:1285. This function returns a non-zero lfWidth LOGFONT. The width is set according to the criteria mentioned on the msdn page. This 100% width is then scaled (scaled width = 100%width*scaling factor/100) and eventually ImplGetLogFontFromFontSelect with FontSelectPattern object with the scaled width is called. The function now returns a LOGFONT with a lfWidth value == scaled width. This is how Windows draws the stretched glyphs. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
